The Emerald Buddha has a ceremonial costume change, performed by the King of Thailand, three times per year. The clothes are changed for summer, rainy and winter seasons. 

A royal ceremony happens with a procession of Monks and important people, the King, sprinkles water over the faithful to bring good fortune throughout the upcoming season.

The costumes are made from; diamond encrusted golden robes, a solid gold robe and a gold-plated monk's robe with headdress.
